Summary/Abstract: The present material proposes, in its first chapter, a conceptual delimitation for the terms strategic culture and security culture, starting with security. Further on in the paper, we will make a comparative analysis between the two, at the same time dwelling on the shift from strategic culture to security culture and arguing the relevance of the latter, in the context of the current century, making specific remarks to Romania. The 21st century outlines new challenges in developing and consolidating security culture by introducing a myriad of factors that need to be taken into consideration. Spectacular changes in technological progress, the ubiquity of digital technologies, the digital revolution, the global digital order, the increasing importance of digital platforms, the speed with which information is transmitted, algorithmisation of personal life, the power to change and direct public opinion, cultivation and aggravation of disputes are only a few of the characteristics of the 21st century.
